I know I’m slow to the program, but it’s really just been in the past two years that I’ve really gotten into The Black Keys. I’m not Twihardy about TBK, but I do love them and they are my jam in the car and during my workouts. Their last album, El Camino, is amazing and I’m in love with Brothers and Attack & Release as well. If I’m going by who I’m more attracted to, that would be Dan Auerbach, the one with the lighter hair and no glasses, but Patrick Carney has some appeal to me too.

Anyway, TBK won big at the Grammys on Sunday (YAY!) and after the Grammys, they were partying at the Marmont. At some point, TMZ got Patrick Carney on camera and they asked him about Justin Bieber’s Grammy nomination snub. Patrick was all “the Grammys are about music and that kid’s all about money. Whatever” (I’m paraphrasing). And then Justin Bieber heard about it and now there’s a douche-fatwa against The Black Keys.

Justin Bieber isn’t taking too kindly to being told he doesn’t deserve a Grammy — going after the Black Keys drummer who insulted him … saying, the drummer “should be slapped around.”

Bieber added “haha” at the end of his statement — which he posted on Twitter — like he was joking.

TMZ broke the story … BK drummer Patrick Carney mocked Bieber’s Grammy snub after the awards on Sunday — telling TMZ, “He’s rich, right? … Grammys are for music, not for money … and he’s making a lot of money.”

Ugh. Of all of the dumb things said about (dumb) Justin Bieber, I don’t even understand how Carney’s comments even warrant more than a “Huh. Yeah. Sounds right.” As for Justin ordering his minions to “slap around” Carney… how d-baggy. How immature. How Bieber.

Shall we listen to some good music for a change? This is one of my favorite songs of all time:

Here’s “Lonely Boy” their first single off El Camino:

Here’s “Gold on the Ceiling” – I’ve been hearing this song all over the place, on TV shows and commercials and movie trailers. They’ve licensed the crap out of this song!

Justin Beiber just keeps on showing how immature and stupid he is. Doesn’t know once his balls drop the girls will run for miles? Only thing that keeps a pretty boy around is talent but since Beiber can’t actually sing or do anything else he will go join the heap of other ex pretty boys.

Well Carney’s right. Didn’t Justin just re-release his first album 3 times adding just a song or two? Justin’s a douche, I think it’s something with the name as I feel the same way about Timberlake-but at least he makes decent music.

*claps at ‘douche-fatwa’* lol!
The ‘haha’ thing is stupid. People who say something harsh and they know it’s not good, so they put haha at the end.
Bieber has got lots of money. But money can’t buy brain.

I’m still waiting for that little douche to get slapped with an assault charge for grabbing his fan’s breast during that photo. This kid is so dumb he’s going to take himself down one of these days and I can’t wait.

give him a couple more years, maybe one and he’s going to lose all of his fan base because 6 yr old girls will have outgrown him and being a mini-dick doesn’t help you to recruit the new wave of post toddlers.

I am pretty sure Patrick Carney is quivering in fear over the potential slaps from Beiber’s minions. In other words, NOT.
I think Beiber is an entitled little punk..but he is young and should he prove to have staying power ( I doubt it) , I am sure he will have an opportunity for Grammy nods. If Katy Perry and Taylor Swift can get Grammy nods, Beiber can too.

Oh man. Bravo to nearly every comment posted so far! I wanted to +1 almost all of them, but it would take to long.

The Black Keys have talent, so when either of them gives their opinion on music it has weight, and Bieber knows it. He probably is also aware that he sucks. He will never be as good as them, but will probably be richer until he develops his obviously impending drug problem.

I love every single BK album, especially the cover album they did and Brothers and Rubber Factory. My favorite song on El Camino is “Sister” and my favorite song to run to is of course “Run Right Back.” Oddly, my fave BK song ever is “Everlasting Light,” which is sung almost completely in falsetto.

The black keys are great live and have more talent in one of their eyelashes than this entitled litted twerp has in his entire body such as it is; what pisses me off more than the tone deaf 10 yr. olds that drool over this nitwit are the parents that pay teeth grinding ticket prices and don’t even try to encourage their childred to listen to much better music than this whiny lesbian (no offense to lesbians).

I think a band that licensed the right to almost ALL of their songs to be used in ads sounds a bit hypocritical saying someone else is all about the $.
There are plenty of other reasons Bieber doesn’t belong at the Grammys but making bank isn’t one of them, IMO.

They explained it pretty well in the episode of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations they were in a couple years back. They don’t have a problem selling out, but that doesn’t give them the right to put out crap music. And they don’t.

I love the Black Keys and that Patrick Carney looks like the “FOOOR-EEEE-VERRR” kid from The Sandlot, but, honestly, if Carly Rae Jepsen (Jepson?) is Grammy material, then Justin Bieber is Grammy material.

i saw TBK a few years back and they were absolutely incredible. pat carney actually broke one of his drums during a song, and they had to wait while a roadie brought a new one out to the stage. i’ve never seen a drummer like that – dude is a MONSTER.

Seriously, how can people like him and Chris Brown think they’re Grammy worthy, and every thing they do is a gift from god, but bands like bright eyes and broken social scene, who work endlessly to make heartfelt, beautiful music get no praise from the Grammy committee at all?
